Summary Of Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte :: essays research papers

The herd of possessed swine could have no worse spirits in them then those animals of yours, sir (7) How could readers of Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights not laugh at this quote? I found the book exciting as well as awful to read. It was so difficult and hard to read, but in the destruction was worth it. The characters were the ones that made it so enjoyable to read but made it also too complicated. However, all of them were fun to ?get to know?. My favorite is Catherine. She is bratty, regretful and hopelessly selfish. I love to hate her. Then again, I also have pity on her. The combination of her up bringing, with her personality has caused her to be akin this. Take for example the reason she marries Edgar. She says ?And he will be rich and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighborhood, and I shall be high-flown of having such a husband.? (78). It is as if she behindnot see anything but what is best for herself. Nelly talks to her, and tries to get her to see her s elfishness. Even there my point is proven. Nelly hates Catherine, even though she has the forbid feelings toward her mistress, she still can see what Catherine is doing wrong, and instead of letting Catherine go on, she tells her. Catherine is so wrapped up in herself. It is pretty annoying to read about her because she is so conceded. One of the things she says is ?But I begin to fancy you dont like me. How strange I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid lovely me.? (120) I cannot even understand how someone could think that about himself or herself Catherine is so stuck up Nelly is a weird character in this book. She seems to be the mother, specially to Catherine. One of the things I like most about her is the fact she is not stupid, she understands people, but does not abuse it. Then again, she is too smart to be a maid. It really seems like she is educated. My favorite quote she says is ?I went about my household duties, convinced that the Grange had but one sensible soul in its walls, and that lodged in my body.? (119) I suppose the reason I think she is so motherly is because she is a lot like my mother, a little cheeky, knows how to control people younger than she is, smart, and can clean well.
